Eagles

This year’s Eagles team has seen the yellow flag way to many times. In five games, Philadelphia has been penalized 49 times resulting in 400 yards of penalties. The Eagles are averaging 9.8 flags per game, making them the most flagged team in the NFL.

The Eagles haven’t played at home since they torched the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. Since then the Birds offense has been plagued by senseless penalties. The past three games Philadelphia has played, they’ve racked up 37 penalties for 324 yards, which makes them the fourth most penalized team in the NFL.

Reality has set in for the Eagles during the last two weeks in road losses to the Lions and Redskins. The defense has taken a significant step back as well. The unit has committed too many penalties, plus poor tackling has factored into the recent slide. Can the defense bounce back in an important home game against the Vikings on Sunday?

Though it is a one-game sample size, it is hard to envision a scenario where Vaitai can play anywhere near Johnson’s level. As the Eagles get set to play the number-one ranked defense in Minnesota this week, the task for the offensive line only gets more arduous.

In addition to failing to maintain their discipline by committing 27 penalties, the team has had a number of key players underachieve. Here’s a look at some of the biggest underachievers in the early part of the season that need to step their games up in the coming weeks.

Entering Week 7, the Eagles are a far cry from where they were entering the bye week. 3-0 is a distant memory. 3-2 and two straight games of frustration, lack of execution and lack of discipline are the reality. Now, the Eagles season really is on the line, as in how the offensive and defensive lines can make do of where they are and change it for the better.
